WCE7 : Disable the Input panel (SIP)

SIP=System Input Panel.
It is the official virtual keyboard that pops up in windows CE when we are in edition mode.

To disable it, the registry need to be edited. The following key needs to be changed:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SIP]
"TurnOffAutoDeploy"=dword:0

to

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SIP]
"TurnOffAutoDeploy"=dword:1

When the modification has been saved, the input panel won't show up anymore.
